Books and the outside world. Boilerplate that I came across on a manuscript website, “International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.” Facsimile Finder: Pelplin Gutenberg Bible, on sidebar under Please Read.

Gotta say, I still prefer my caffeine cold, i.e. in soda form.
